Iván Cepeda Castro responded to Yesid Lancheros, who had disseminated a call that he had returned. He said that he had not responded to his interviews for some time and described that way of obtaining statements as lamentable. He added that he had nothing to hide and asked Lancheros or his magazine to promptly present any accusations they had against him before the judicial authorities. #transparencia #justicia #comunicacion (translated)

Iván Cepeda Castro asked what was being reproached to his colleague Mafe Carrascal and pointed out that he had accompanied the young people and demanded that the Public Force not attack them for asking for respect for historical memory. He added that, in his opinion, Carrascal was fully fulfilling the job for which they had been elected: to be on the side of the people. #DerechosHumanos #MemoriaHistórica #JusticiaSocial (translated)

Iván Cepeda Castro expressed his solidarity and support for María José Pizarro and Del Mar Pizarro, and stated that they had been the subject of a new aggression by De la Espriella. He pointed out that this time the attack was directed against the memory of Carlos Pizarro and Bernardo Jaramillo, whom he described as people who had contributed to the search for peace. He also maintained that the denial of crimes against humanity came from their authors and accomplices, and asserted that memory and truth would prevail. #Solidaridad #Memoria #Verdad (translated)

Iván Cepeda Castro announced that he would send information to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) about alleged human rights violations in Colombia. He said he would include cases of police violence recorded over the last two months against young people in Bogotá and Santa Marta, as well as what he described as threats to university autonomy and repressive interventions in higher education institutions. He also pointed out that he would submit an analysis of decree 1525 of 2026, which he claimed limited and persecuted the right to social protest, and data on the preparation of the Anti-Terrorism Statute project. Cepeda argued that this initiative would seriously undermine the rule of law, the Constitution, and democracy. He added that he would send regular communications to the IACHR to report on what he called the gradual establishment of an authoritarian and undemocratic regime. #DerechosHumanos #Colombia #ProtestaSocial (translated)

Iván Cepeda Castro questioned the announced guarantees for peaceful protest and stated that the decree on social mobilization served as a pretext to exercise arbitrary violence against peaceful gatherings. He maintained that the Government sought to silence the population, but that the large and peaceful demonstrations the day before marked the beginning of a general mobilization against the Government and its policies. He also warned Abelardo de la Espriella that he should prepare himself. #ProtestaPacífica #DerechosHumanos #LibertadDeExpresión (translated)

Iván Cepeda Castro stated that the measures of terror and persecution attributed to Abelardo De la Espriella would not intimidate the citizens. He asserted that that day a mass mobilization had begun that no one could stop and said they would defeat what he called De la Espriella's despotic regime. #Protesta #DerechosHumanos #Libertad (translated)

Iván Cepeda Castro announced that he would participate in a peaceful mobilization against Abelardo de la Espriella and his government that day. He claimed that the government had issued decree 1525 of 2026 the day before as part of a strategy of intimidation and with the purpose of repressing social protest. According to Cepeda, the protocol had not been consulted with the public or with social organizations, unlike the one, he said, that was in effect during the government of the Historical Pact led by Gustavo Petro. Cepeda argued that De la Espriella's protocol expanded the use of force, restricted police dialogue, and could facilitate the criminalization of those participating in peaceful mobilizations. He recalled that, between 2019 and 2021, the intervention of ESMAD had left young people injured and killed. He also stated that during Petro's four years in government, dialogue and the guarantee of protest prevailed, and that there were no young people killed by police gunfire, false positives, or eye injuries caused by gas canisters. The senator accused De la Espriella of wanting to return to past practices and said that the mobilization would be massive and determined. He added that they would not allow what he described as the arbitrariness of an authoritarian regime, nor, as he expressed, would they allow De la Espriella to destroy rights, democracy, and life. #ProtestaPacífica #DerechosHumanos #MovilizaciónSocial (translated)

Iván Cepeda Castro stated that social protest was a right and that no government should expect the population to remain silent in the face of decisions that, as he wrote, seriously affected their rights. He announced that on October 14, they would peacefully take to the streets and affirmed that it was the government’s responsibility to guarantee that right, not to repress those who exercised it. He added that they would respond to any attempt at intimidation with more democracy, peaceful mobilization, and defense of life. #ProtestaPacífica #DerechosHumanos #Democracia (translated)

Iván Cepeda Castro stated that the opposition should have guarantees to express themselves, question, propose, and denounce. He said that the pressure, persecution, or silencing of journalists, judges, social leaders, union representatives, students, teachers, and citizens for their work, the exercise of their rights, or their criticisms of what he called arbitrary decisions by Abelardo de la Espriella and the Government should not be normalized. He added that, in the face of any attempt to impose fear and silence, they would remain united and respond with truth, firmness, and democracy. #LibertadDeExpresión #Democracia #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Iván Cepeda Castro stated that, two decades ago, paramilitary structures under the command of Salvatore Mancuso took control of the University of Córdoba and threatened, displaced or murdered professors, students, and workers, creating an environment that, he said, nullified academic deliberation. He also pointed out that Claudio Sánchez, rector during the takeover, was prosecuted for complicity with the paramilitaries and that Abelardo de la Espriella was his lawyer. Cepeda further maintained that De la Espriella had been a friend and partner of Mancuso, and he criticized him for now claiming that he would defend the university's institutional autonomy, calling him a liar. #Colombia #UniversidadDeCórdoba #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Ayer denuncié el traslado del prisionero Antonio Guerra de la Espriella y pregunté por el parentesco que se ha señalado con el señor Abelardo de la Espriella. Hoy, después de esa pregunta pública, Guerra regresa a La Picota. Se frustró esta movida. #Justicia #DerechosHumanos #Colombia

ASEDIO Tengo conocimiento de que se ha reactivado un plan que en el pasado no pudieron ejecutar agencias estadounidenses en mi contra. Se pretende fabricar falsos testimonios para implicarme en actividades ilegales, y adelantar un proceso judicial en Estados Unidos. Y por otra parte, se adelantan campañas sucias en la redes sociales que cuentan con el concurso de idiotas útiles al servicio de la extrema derecha. Quieren aniquilar física, judicial y moralmente a quienes dirigimos el Pacto Histórico. Quieren dividir nuestro movimiento, pues esa es la principal condición necesaria para hacer que el fascismo triunfe. No podrán destruir mi dignidad, mis convicciones éticas ni mi vida política. Lo mío es el poder de la verdad. #Justicia #DerechosHumanos #LibertadDeExpresión

RESPUESTA A DE LA ESPRIELLA El Gobierno anuncia conversaciones con el FMI para enfrentar la crisis fiscal, pero no explica todavía qué condiciones tendría una eventual negociación ni quién terminaría pagando sus costos. Mientras despliega espectáculo alrededor de la seguridad, guarda silencio frente a hechos que también exigen respuestas: la muerte de jóvenes en actuaciones de la Fuerza Pública, la destrucción ecológica, el aumento del precio de los alimentos y las afectaciones al turismo. Frente a cualquier abuso de poder, la democracia se defiende con ciudadanía organizada, movilización social y protesta pacífica. #CrisisFiscal #DerechosHumanos #Democracia

CONTINÚA LA PERSECUCIÓN DE PERIODISTAS CRÍTICOS Esta semana que culmina, el turno de la persecución y la lapidación en redes sociales contra periodistas que están investigando a Abelardo de la Espriella, fue para @DCoronell . Su nombre se suma a una lista que va creciendo. Contra Daniel Coronell los ataques han sido permanentes y despiadados . Son directamente proporcionales a la rigurosidad y veracidad de su investigación periodística. En esta oportunidad, obedecen a que documentó el testimonio de David Murcia sobre cómo De la Espriella lo extorsionaba. No es el primer cliente que lo denuncia. Otros extorsionistas y narcotraficantes han sostenido que De la Espriella era un abogado extorsionista. Luego de ser presionado, Murcia se ha “retractado”. Es una historia típicamente mafiosa que hemos conocido gracias a la valentía y rigor de Coronell. #LibertadDePrensa #Periodismo #Justicia

EL DISCURSO ANTE LA ONU El mundo sumido en un conjunto de crisis que amenazan el futuro de la Humanidad: el peligro de la tercera guerra mundial, las terribles consecuencias del cambio climático, la pobreza y desigualdad, los peligros en la manipulación de la IA, las olas migratorias. ¿Y el discurso de Restrepo ante el mundo? Una mediocre colección de lugares comunes sobre “la patria milagro”. #ONU #CrisisMundial #CambioClimático

CRECEN LOS PELIGROS PARA LA PAZ MUNDIAL Lo que está ocurriendo en Ucrania y Rusia, y por otra parte, en Irán, eleva en forma exponencial el riesgo de un conflicto armado transnacional de alcances y consecuencias impredecibles. Todas las organizaciones, redes, instituciones y personas que defendemos la paz, debemos movilizarnos en cada rincón del planeta, para evitar este peligro que se cierne sobre el futuro de la humanidad. #PazMundial #Conflicto #Ucrania

DE LA ESPRIELLA CONTRA LOS DERECHOS DE LAS VÍCTIMAS Ni la Unidad de Restitución de Tierras ni la Unidad para la búsqueda de Personas, dadas por Desaparecidas, contarán en el próximo presupuesto general de la nación compartidas que hagan viable y eficaz su trabajo. El campesinado ha sido despojado de 6 millones de hectáreas de tierra, y hay 131 mil personas desaparecidas. Pero la prioridad de De la Espriella no son las víctimas. Son los victimarios. Para lo único que hay recursos es para enriquecer a sus socios y amigos, o para incentivar la guerra y la violencia que traerá más víctimas. De la Espriella está en contra de las víctimas y sus derechos. #DerechosHumanos #JusticiaSocial #Víctimas
